It’s been a lying down day. Think the barometric pressure is doing tricks on my head. Very whooshy and dizzy, even lying down. Can’t read subtitles so they’re turned off. Eyes are crazy tired. Crash + weather has kicked my butt.

Watching the new Carrie TV series. Just about to start episode 2. Excellent so far.

Watching 90’s tv is very refreshing. It’s nice to see actors with natural coloured teeth, rather than the ultra bleached, glow in the dark teeth you see these days.

Despite currently being in a crash from dentist appointments, I’ve been doing better recently. I’ve gone from living on milk last year, (because I couldn’t make myself any food), to being able to make a sandwich or cook some chicken or other simple things. Quality of life is slowly improving :)

Slept for 10 hours! Could still use more too. Waiting for the storms to hit. Prediction includes rain, large hail, severe winds, thunderstorms and flash flooding. Time for me to charge all the things.

Oh FFS. Days of storms coming up. The more often the dog takes her meds, the less effective they are. 3 days of thunderstorms will be a challenge. Starts tomorrow afternoon. It’s gonna be exhausting, the dog really hates storms and needs heaps of reassurance. I’d better rest as much as I can.

It’s a big barometric pressure drop but it’s nearly 29°, my body has its check engine light on. We have smashing headache from low pressure, with the dizziness from a warm day, while I’m in a crash. Oh dear 😂

It’s being a busy day. So many trips up and down the hallway. The wheelchair is a lifesaver. I’m exhausted though, and still more washing to put away. Im declaring it rest time for now (hopefully).

It’s 10am and I’m done for the day. Groceries have been ordered and put away. I dragged the cart out and back in with the wheelchair. Have to go backwards to pull the cart back inside. Quite the challenge. lol. I went up the backyard for a photo. Now, hopefully, I can rest. Oh. Laundry due soon 😆

Good morning! I climbed up the backyard hill to get a picture. The Bird of Paradises are going so well. Only planted late last spring, for my birthday. Both plants have had flowers :)

I was overcharged $60 by Supagas. Called up, told I have credit on my account. Had to specifically ask for the money to be refunded. Hopefully they do it.

Finally lying down. Big day for urgent chores. Bin night tonight, that means emptying 3 bins and a litter box. Scrolling through grocery specials with distorted pictures for an hour to find discounts. Animals fed late. Brain & eyes are fried from grocery scrolling. Need rest. Lots of rest.

Mr23 got his hot shower. He’s happier now. It was 9 days without gas, unnecessarily because Supagas ignored my online order Then they send a delivery driver with no clue who stuffs up the bottle installation 🙄 Anyway, back to regular programming. House is functional again.

Rebel @rebellionista.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Sitting in that awkward position on that dentist chair has well and truly screwed up my back. They sat me up for 10 minutes and the headrest was in between my shoulders and my poor arthritic back was all bent the wrong way. Only half way through emptying the bins and I’m fucked.

Just woke from the second nap of the day. There will probably be more. Gas bottle hasn’t turned up yet, Mr23 is sick of waiting. Very glad to have the power chair today. Crashing very hard. Bored but way beyond exhausted. More rest and X Files coming up.

Have woken sore and exhausted. The dentist put the chair in an awkward upright position for about 10 minutes yesterday, and my back is furious. So fucking sore. My teeth don’t hurt though. lol. Got SFA sleep last night. Feel like something the cat dragged in. Hoping for naps today🤞

Rebel @rebellionista.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Big day. I’m pretty wrecked. Teeth are feeling ok. Animals are fed. I’m chilling with some X Files. Another trip out in 2 weeks, need to get to a GP soon too. Pity all the appointments are so close together. I start to recover, then Boom! I have to go out again 🙄😣

So glad Coco survived. Because of her heart condition I’m so worried about leaving her alone as she really freaks out. I don’t want her to die of a heart attack because she’s fretting. There was lots of squealing and yelping when I came home. Told her it was all ok and gave her a giant bone.

First time as a passenger with Mr23, since he got his license. He drives like me, but a bit more impatient. He has adopted my complete distrust of all other drivers, and says it’s saved him a couple of times already. When on the road Trust No One!!

Anaesthetic is wearing off. Owwww!! So glad it’s done though. Resting as much as I can now. I really was NOT up to an appointment today, way too crashy, vague and sleepy. I’ll await the consequences.

$86 for 3 fillings at a private dentist with the SA Dental voucher. So much better than private prices, but dental work for concession holders used to be free. Bring back Medicare for dental. They shouldn’t be luxury bones!

Taken half an oxycodone because fillings. First one in months. I have a few left for emergencies, and this counts.

All done. Was there and back within an hour. 3 fillings and he didn’t hurt me. Neck and jaw muscles were killing me, but it’s all finished. Just a clean in 2 weeks. Coco survived 10 minutes alone when Mr23 dropped me off and picked me up. Now she has a giant bone as a reward :)

We are getting a gas bottle tomorrow! I ended up having to call and speak to someone. Told online orders get lowest priority, so I need to call each time we need gas. Also told I’ve been massively overcharged and they’ve locked in a lower price for a year. At least it’s kinda sorted.

"The troubling paradox is that women experience more pain, yet their pain is also more likely to be dismissed, diagnosed late or undertreated ... This enormous study shows that the higher burden of pain in women is remarkably consistent across the body and in a remarkably diverse global population."
